FEATURES & BENEFITS
Can be used over a wide range of
temperature (-30°C/-22°F to
+650°C/1202°F)
High load-carrying capacity
Enables non-destructive
dismantling, even after long use at
high temperatures
Coefficient of friction unchanged
in the area of oiled bolts, even after
several bolt re-tightening and
loosening processes
Good corrosion protection

Molykote® 1000 Solid Lubricant
Paste
Solid lubricant paste for bolted metal joints; contains no lead or
nickel
APPLICATIONS
Suitable for bolted joints that are subjected to high temperatures up to 650°C
(1202°F) and to corrosive effects, and which, after assembling and the initial
operation, have to be re-tightened or disconnected. In order to ensure constant
pre-stressing forces, uniform and steady coefficients of friction of the lubricant
are necessary.
Used successfully for cylinder head bolts, nozzle head screws of plastic
injection molding machines, bolted joints in the chemical industry, and also
for the tension rings of centrifuges.
